TAGUM CITY, Davao del Norte -- Local Government Units (LGUs) in Northern Davao Region have declared state of calamities triggered by incessant raining for more than one week. Davao Oriental has already been declared under state of calamity in a special session that the Sangguniang Panlalawigan held at around 9:30 a.m. on January 24, 2017. Last week, the municipal governments of Cateel and Boston also made a state of calamity declaration due to massive flooding. Provincial Information

Officer Karen Lou Deloso in an inquiry said that Municipal Disaster Risk and Reduction Management Council (MDDRMC) of Baganga will also be recommending a state of calamity declaration after reviewing the Rapid Damage Assessment and Needs Analysis (RDANA). B oston, C ateel and Baganga are east coast towns of Davao Oriental. Same towns were badly hit by typhoon Pablo in 2012. In another development, Deloso relayed a message that San Isidro (Davao Ori- Beneficiaries of the New Hope Village Housing project in Tacloban City wait for Presiental) Mayor Justina Yu dent Rodrigo Roa Duterte’s arrival on January 25, 2017.

DAVAO CITY -- The City Government of Davao welcomes the assistance in form of study from the Japanese government through the Japanese International Cooperation Agency to push the development in the city. City Administrator Atty. Dwight Domingo bared the development study will cover almost everything from zoning, land use, proper solid waste management, transportation and traffic scheme being implemented

in the city, aimed at helping the city move forward. He said the JICA has asked the city government to focus on areas like the city land use plan, massive traffic experienced throughout the city, solid waste management and the flood. “Mayor Sara DuterteCarpio wants the development to spread from the city business district towards agro-tourism and agri-related businesses to the highlands in the third and second districts of the city,” Domingo said.

He said the mayor also wants a study on transport planning, where the city can come up with a massive transport system. Domingo said the current system of waste management manifests problems in waste segregation where most of the residents does not comply. “Most of us Davaoenos is guilty of this concern. We do not segregate,” he said. Domingo said Davao City will partner with ex- President Rodrigo Roa Duterte discusses matters with Presidential Assistant for the Visayas Michael Diño before boarding a government plane at the Benito Ebuen Airbase perts from the City of in Lapu-Lapu City on January 25, 2017.

fort just to deliver the lessons in the most effective way. As an educator, it is your job to shape students with values and wisdom. These young creatures spend more time at school than at home, thus it is important to make use of this reason. It is essential for children to know that they are not just there to barely learn how to write, count and read but also to be people of the future, to be leaders and builders of the nation. They ought to learn how

to value learning, to dig their skills and intelligence and to be coiled with values. Teachers should instill to them the Filipino values, which is recognized globally, which is to be respectful at all times, being hospitable and diligent, among others. It is truly overwhelming to produce graduates who are not just skilled but as well recognized because of their ability and values. Moreover, one efficient way to teach this is by being the role model of them all. Teachers must be responsible at all times, in their actions,

speech and deeds. Needless to say, students look up unto them. Hence, it is but proper that whatever you say or whatever is there that you have taught them must be also done by you. That is an essential lesson a teacher could ever give, to bring flesh on the teachings he provided and to bring effectivity to the words he uttered. Teachers are people who produced engineers, nurses, doctors, architects, psychologists, journalists and several others. It is the noble profession.

DRRMC led by Provincial Government Anthony G. del Rosario met and eventually passed a recommendation for the Sangguniang Panlalawigan to place the province under a state of calamity. In an interview, Del Rosario pointed out the need for such declaration citing two municipalities which had already been placed under the state of calamity while MDRRMCs of two other towns were on the process of recommending the same.

During the PDRRMC emergency meeting, Provincial Social Welfare and Development Officer (PSWDO) Arlene Semblante said that the municipalities of Asuncion and Carmen were already placed under state calamity while Kapalong and Braulio E. Dujali will also be declaring the same status. In a separate interview, Municipal Information Officer Pedeejeel Moral revealed that Dujali MDRRMC led by Municipal Mayor Leah Ma-

rie Moral-Romano passed a resolution this morning recommending SB to declare the town under state of calamity. Dujali SB was also set to hold a special session to tackle the MDRRMO recommendation, Moral said. On the other hand, the Province of Compostela Valley has not been declared under state of calamity though some municipalities were monitored to have

What teaching really means? By Nestor T. Paciente Head Teacher I Sinasaan Elementary School Pangantucan North District

Teaching, as most people, believe is a profession by means of providing learners with set of principles and explaining them that. Yes, it is. However, it does not just stop in there for teaching is an act of molding students to be the best of their selves and to be people they ought to be in the future, even it means it would take a lot of sacrifices and overnight ef-

PAGADIAN CITY - Northern Mindanao campus journalists set a 10-year best sixth-place in individual contests ranking among 18 regions during the National Schools Press Conference, January 22-25, this year at Saint Columban College here. “Obviously, we have improved a lot,” said Department of Education 10 regional director Allan G. Farnazo, after the 286-strong Region 10 delegation received 30 individual and group contest awards.

Individual Awards This year, 13 of the recognitions came from individual contests, the highest of which came from sports writing and in copy reading and headline writing while the rest in news, editorial, and science writing events as well as in editorial cartooning and photojournalism. Sports writers Jeriza Joy Cabasag of Calamba National Comprehensive High School, Misamis Occidental and Mary Grace Lourdes Gorre of Ozamiz City National High School, Ozamiz City excelled in Filipino and English categories, respectively, in a field of 54 contestants. Valencia City Central School pupil Frenchie Jyne Panares also topped the

Filipino category of copy reading and headline writing. Another NSPC winner in sports writing was Rico Leibling of Yumbing National High School, Camiguin who took the second spot in English category. Bukidnon’s Capitan Bayong campus, an annex of Impasugong National High School produced her first-ever national winner through Trishia Mae Arias who captured the 2nd spot in photojournalism Secondary English. T h re e o t h e r N SP C qualifiers in copy reading and headline writing were among winners: Preach Love Paulican of Mountain View College, Valencia City, 4th place in English elementary; Christine Madjos of Tangub City National Comprehensive High School, 6th place in Filipino

secondary; and Jerome Aparri of Mindanao State University-Iligan Institute of Technology, 7th place in English secondary. In news writing, Earl Joy Lopina of Yumbing National High School, Mambajao, Camiguin, who was a second-place winner(English, secondary) in last year’s NSPC in Koronadal, settled for 6th place while Prince One Tala of Tangub City Central School took the 4th spot in Filipino elementary. Another back-to-back winner is Remuel dela Cruz of Bukidnon’s Kalilangan National High School who, from last year’s first-place award dipped to 6th this time in editorial cartooning Filipino while another Bukidnon-based cartoonist in Filipino Zarnico Fedly Ibo of Cabanglasan Elementary School clipped the 7th spot.

T h re e ot h e r N SP C winners are from Ozamiz City Schools Division, the overall champion during the 2016 Regional Schools Press Conference: Ozamiz City Central School-Sped Center’s Rosel L. Potestas, 2nd in science writing Filipino, and Christine Angela Ligutom, 7th place in editorial English, while Diane Nicole N. Ytac of Ozamiz City National High School, was 6th in photojournalism Filipino. Group Awards In the same reaction, Farnazo said he has seen “a big improvement in the passion and commitment of the advisors” and such was manifested in the results, not only in individual but also in collaborative publishing, radio broadcasting and television newscasting competitions. Cagayan de Oro City-

based Gusa Regional Science High School won in four seven-member group events her students participated in: third in collaborative publishing, Filipino category; fifth in TV newscasting, English; seventh in TV newscasting, Filipino; and second in online publishing, Filipino.

sized that though “we would like to have a clean planet but that would be nigh and impossible really to insist on it because civilization needs to have light” stressing further the need to also “strike a happy balance.” “But for as long as the most valuable fuel is coal and cheapest so that the power can also be delivered to the people at a much lower price then we’ll have no other alternative except to upgrade the technology to its fullest to limit anything that starts whatever machine will always have pollution,” Duterte added. Section 1 of SEC power plant has been operating since 2016 which now provides energy to the residents

in the provinces of Sarangani, Compostela Valley, Agusan del Norte and Agusan del Sur and the cities of General Santos, Iligan, Bayugan, Butuan, Samal, and Tagum to include key areas in Davao del Norte and South Cotabato. The groundbreaking ceremony of Section 2 which comprises another 105 MW coal-fired power was traditional using Japanese sake barrel lids “Kagami-Biraki” symbolizing “harmony and good fortune.” Section 2’s “civil works” has already started this January. It is expected to operate in 2019 completing SEC’s total of 210 MW. When operational, it will supply energy to the

provinces of South Cotabato, Davao del Sur, Misamis Oriental, North Cotabato, Zamboanga del Norte and Zamboanga del Sur as well as the cities of Cagayan de Oro, Dapitan, Digos, Dipolog, Koronadal, Kidapawan, and Pagadian. President Duterte’s administration is pushing for the total electrification of the country by the end of 2022 as it encourages the private sector to pour more investments in power generation to stabilize the country’s energy supply. Pegged at US$570, SEC’s Sections 1 and 2 are the “largest power investment in Sarangani Province and the entire Region 12.” SEC is owned by Al-

sons Power of the Alcantara Group, which also controls the Southern Philippines Power Corporation in Alabel, Sarangani; Western Philippines Power Corporation in Zamboanga City; the Mapalad Power Corporation in Iligan City; and the San Ramon Power, among others.

Hollywood is outsourcing its animation needs from the country, for example the animated series George of the Jungle has Filipino animators, Rubio said. He also said that part of the team behind George of the Jungle are the ones looking at setting up a company here in the city. “The interest of a company putting up shop here in Davao means there is a huge demand.” Rubio said. Rubio is organizing a forum on the animation industry in the city titled Philippine Animation and Game Development: Growth Opportunity Abounds. The forum gathers top industry players in the country, local animators, designers and students. The forum is held today, January 30. The morning session is an overview about the animation industry and in the afternoon, top animators and designers will be displaying their works and conducting a demo.
